METEOROLOGICAL. 

The United States Signal Service has first-class stations established at 
Alpena, Detroit, Escanaba, Grand Haven, Mackinaw City, Marquette and 
Port Huron, and special display stations for the exhibition of cautionary 
and weather signals at Bay City, Charlevoix, East Tawas, Elk Rapids, Frank- 
fort, Ludington, Fort Mackinac, Manistee, Menominee, Montague, Muske- 
gon, Northport, Pentwater, Petoskey, St. Ignace, St. Joseph, Sand Beach, 
South Haven and Traverse City. The station at Detroit also prints Farm- 
ers' Bulletins. The cost of these stations, exclusive of the pay of the observ- 
ers, was, during the fiscal year, 1883-4 but $2,919. 

The cautionary signal is a black square in the center of a white flag and 
indicates the approach of a cold wave or northwest storm. The general 
weather signals are also white flags with various figures, as follows: red cir- 
cle or sphere, indicating higher temperature; red star, stationary tempera- 
ture; red moon, lower temperature; blue circle or sphere, general rain or 
snow; blue star, local rain or snow; blue moon, clear or fair weather. The 
red colors indicate temperature and the blue colors weather and the signals 
are combined accordingly. In Canada and some of the States these signals 
are used on railroad trains displayed on the sides of the baggage cars but have 
not yet been adopted by the Michigan roads. 

The calculations in the almanac are made according to Central Standard 
Time, or that of the ninetieth meridian of longitude west from Greenwich, 
which is also the legal time of Michigan. The local or solar time of any 
particular place differs from Central Standard Time according to its longi- 
tude, being four minutes earlier or later for each degree of longitude east 
or west of the ninetieth meridian. A slight difference also results from 
difference of latitude varying with the seasons. The following tables show 
the latitude, longitude and most interesting meteorological data pf the 
seven United States stations and of the State stations at Lansing and Reed 
City reported by the Board of Health :

An analysis of the traffic shows an equivalent of 964 million passen- 
gers carried one mile, the average distance traveled by each passenger being 
30.89 miles and the average fare paid $1.05. The total freight ton mileage 
was 6,164 millions, the average ton haul being 168.97 miles, for which the 
average amount received was $1.53, or .904 cents per mile. The chief com- 
modities moved were „, „,

From the reports of ten States in 1883 presenting complete statements of 
passenger traffic and earnings, Massachusetts, with but 1,953 miles of road 
carrying more than 61,500,000 passengers, reports the lowest rate— 2.003 cents 
per mile. New Hampshire and Connecticut, also with small track-mileage 
and large traffic, come next. The average rate in Wisconsin was 3.12 cents; 
in Minnesota, 2 84 cents, and in Michigan, 2.72 cents per mile. 

The comparative statement of freight traffic, compiled by Commissioner 
Innes in 1884, "shows that, next to Ohio, Michigan has the advantage of the 
lowest rates of any State in the Union, where reports have reached this office." 
He then makes the following significant statement relative to the traffic 
rates of the chief road of the State, the Michigan Central: 

" The Charter of the Michigan Central Railroad Company, passed in 
1846, limited the charges which the Company should be authorized to col- 
lect upon many specified commodities to the sums or tolls charged in the 
months of September and October, 1845, upon certain New England rail- 
roads, they being the Boston & Lowell, Boston & Providence and Boston & 
Worcester. The latter, many years since, became a part of the Boston <fc 
Albany Railroad, and careful search at the general office of the former 
fails to elicit any information as to what the tariff actually was by which 
our most important railroad corporation is permitted to regulate its freight 
charges. But, referring to the Massachusetts Commissioner's reports for 
1883, we find that the average freight rate for that year on the Boston & 
Albany was 1.20 cents. On the Boston & Lowell it was 2.90 cents and on the 
Boston & Providence 2.83 cents per ton per mile. Reference to the report of 
the Michigan Central for the same period shows that its rate was, on 
through freight, 0.63 cents; on local, 1.03 cents, and on all freight, 0.83 cents, 
or less by two-thirds than the average rate of the New England companies, 
by whose charges, nearly forty years ago, its own must be regulated." 

Commissioner Innes, in his first report, suggests that "owing to the 
proximity of market towns to each other, on parallel lines of road, but few 
points in reality fail to realize the benefit of competitive rates, and that 
the average difference in freight charges at what is generally considered 
competitive and non-competitive points is not so great as is commonly 
believed." To test this he procured detailed reports of the traffic from non- 
competitive points on eight of the principal roads of the State and pub- 
lishes them in his report for 1884, with the following comments: 

"A critical examination of the foregoing special reports conclusively 
shows that as a rule there are few points having superior advantages of 
others with regard to freight rates. Now and then there seems to be a place, 
where the tonnage is small and the haul short, that pays a_ higher average 
rate than stations affording a larger traffic. But such is the case the 
country over in similar situation of affairs. It is one of the inevitable 
sequences of light traffic and short hauls that no legislation is able to 
avoid. Reference to the recapitulation that I have made of the averages 
resulting from the special reports shows that the freight rate at the stations 
included was only 1.36 (cents) per ton per mile, which is believed to be lower 
with a single exception) than that of any other State." 

Taxation.— The State taxes paid by the railroad corporations amounted 
to $617,629 in 1884 and to $668,758 in 1885. Commissioner McPherson in his 
last report analyzes the figures of 1884 as follows: 

Taxable income per mile of road operated $4,968.49 

Per cent, of taxation on taxable income 2.49 

Taxes per mile of road operated 123.57 

Referring to the taxation of roads operated under special charter, he says 
of the Michigan Central: 

" As the question of the method of taxation of this corporation has met 
with considerable discussion at recent sessions of the legislature, owing to 
the impression that the company was not taxed in a fair proportion to those 
organized under the general law, the following may be of interest as show- 
ing the situation for 18S4: 

Taxes paid by the Michigan Central under its charter. .. $134,083.20 

Would have paid if taxed under the general law 114,239-91 

Excess of taxes under the charter $19,843.29 

Casualties.— The total number of casualties reported in 1884 was 495, as 
against 579 for the preceding year— a decrease of 87, or 10.05 per cent. Of 
the sufferers, 323 were employes, 36 were passengers, and there were ISf 
others; 102 were killed, a decrease from last year of 61, and 393 were in 
jured, many of them but slightly.

THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. 

GEOGRAPHICAL. 

Near the center of the North American continent, with its two penin- 
sulas embraced by the great inland seas of Huron, Michigan and Superior, 
is one of the fairest of our sisterhood of States, \oung as she is, she has 
already outstripped most of her older sisters in the race of mental and ma- 
terial advancement and her history is full of the romance of early struggles 
for existence, of poverty and toil and warfare, of marvelous development of 
natural resources and the rapid acquisition of wealth and prosperity by the 
industrious application of the arts and sciences of modern civilization. 
Her domain is a truly imperial one of 58,915 square miles— larger than Eng- 
land and Wales and nearly as large as the New England States combined, 
lying in the same latitude as France, Switzerland and Austria. 

Michigan consists of two irregular peninsulas, separated by the Strait of 
Mackinaw, four miles wide, through which the waters of Lake Michigan 
empty into Lake Huron. The Lower Peninsula, having its base at the south, 
is 277 miles in length and 259 miles in greatest width, and is partially sur- 
rounded by Lakes Michigan, Huron, St. Clair and Erie, and St. Clair and 
Detroit Rivers. Near the northern part of Lake Michigan the shore line is 
deeply indented by Great and Little Traverse Bays and nearly opposite on 
Lake Huron by Thunder Bay and by Saginaw Bay farther south. The soil 
is luxuriantly fertile, except in the northern part, and the surface generally 
level, though in the southern part there is an irregular cluster of hills from 
30 to 200 feet high, and nearer the eastern than the western shore a low 
water-shed extends northward, culminating rather ruggedly in elevations of 
some 700 feet. The shores on both sides are in many places steep and elevated 
and on Lake Michigan especially are numerous, bluffs and sand-hills from 
100 to 200 feet in height. It is composed, geologically, wholly of the Devonian 
and lower-carboniferous series of rocks except in the central portion, which 
is occupied by the coal measures and the permo-carboniferous series. The 
extensive pineries are all on the Lower Peninsula, and, though rapidly dis- 
appearing, it is estimated that nearly 30,000 million feet are still standing. 

The Upper Peninsula has its base near the western extremity of Lake 
Superior, and is 318 miles in length by from 30 to 164 miles in width. It com- 
prises the counties of Baraga, Chippewa, Delta, Houghton, Keweenaw, 
Mackinac, Marquette, Menominee, Ontonagon and Schoolcraft, embracing 
about two-fifths of the area of the State and one-fifteenth of its population. 
The Lake Superior shore at first ti-ends northeast for some 160 miles to Kewee- 
naw point, a long peninsula running out into the lake and partly enclosing 
Keweenaw Bay east of it ; thence it undulates regularly to Whitefish Point 
where it bends sharply south and then east, enclosing with the Canada shore 
the deep basin of Tequamenon Bay, from which St. Mary's strait flows into 
Lake Huron. The Huron shore westward to Mackinaw strait is broken and 
islet-bordered. The northern shore-line of Lake Michigan is irregular 
westward to Green Bay which opens at its northwest corner and the greater 
part of which belongs to Michigan. It presents more rugged and pictur- 
esque features than the Lower Peninsula as a result of its geological form- 
ation, composed of four of the oldest series of rocks, the lower Silurian, 
the copper-bearing rocks, the Huronian or iron-bearing series, and the Lau- 
rentian series. A noted feature of the latter is the sandstone bluff, thirty 
miles west of Sault Ste. Marie, known as Pictured Rocks, variously colored 
and worn by the waters into grotesque forms resembling castles, temples, 
arches, colonades, etc., presenting indeed a gorgeous appearance from the 
steamer's deck. For about twelve miles these rocks rise to a height of 200 to 
300 feet. East of Marquette the watershed does not exceed an elevation of 
400 feet, and the Peninsula is covered with forests, mostly of soft woods. 
West of that meridian are irregular mountain ranges mostly trending east- 
northeast and west-southwest, with intervening lakes and swamps, and at- 
taining a height of 1,400 feet above Lake Superior. The soil of the Upper 
Peninsula is comparatively sterile but its western portion contains most of 
the mineral wealth of the State. 

Land and water are well distributed in Michigan, the latter not only 
enhancing the beauty of the scenery but also materially modifying the cli- 
mate. Besides the great lakes which give the State a shore line of 1,620 
miles, exclusive of the bays, there are more than 5,000 smaller lakes having 
an aggregate area of 712,864 acres. Among the most important are Manis- 
tique, Agogebic, Torch and Michigamme in the Upper Peninsula, and Hough- 
ton, Higgins, Hubbard, Mullet, Burt's and Grand Lakes in the Lower Pe- 
ninsula. A chain of connecting lakes entered from Grand Traverse Bay is 
uagivable for eighty miles. The State has 179 islands exceeding an acre in 
extent and having a total area of 405 square miles. Royale and Grand in Lake 
Superior; Marquette, Mackinac and Bois Blanc in Lake Huron, and the 
Beaver, Fox and Manitou groups in the northern part of Lake Michigan, 
are the principal ones. The chief rivers are the Ontonagon and Tequam- 
enon, flowing into Lake Superior ; the Cheboygan, Au Sable and Saginaw 
falling into Lake Huron; and the St. Joseph, Muskegon, Manistee, Grand 
Traverse and Escanaba which empty into Lake Michigan. 

HISTORICAL. 

Early in the seventeenth century the hardy and adventurous French voy- 
agers and Jesuit missionaries coasted her shores and trod the solitude of 
her primeval forests, and over her for a hundred and fifty years France, 
through Canadian governors, claimed the right of eminent domain. It was 

56 ■ 



not, however, until Pare Jaques Marquette founded in 1668 his mission at 
Saulte Ste. Marie that a white settlement was actually made upon her soil, 
though for untold centuries the Indians and their predecessors, whom we 
call the Mound-Builders, had peopled her forest glades. On the 24th of July. 
1701, La Motte Cadillac founded Detroit, and colonization and civil govern- 
ment began. With Canada it was surrendered to England in September, 
1760, and the expulsion of the French was the signal for Pontiac's war of 
extermination against the whites, lasting for several years and rendered 
memorable by the siege of Detroit and the massacre of the little garrison of 
Fort Michillimackinac. The English hauled down their red-cross banner 
on the 1st of July, 1796, and Michigan, still an unbroken wilderness, save at 
Detroit and Mackinac, became a part of the Northwest Territory of the 
United States. In 1800 the Northwest Territory was divided, the north 
and south dividing line running a few miles west of Mackinac and the 
eastern part becoming Indiana Territory. Two years later Ohio was ad- 
mitted into the Union as a State and all of Michigan became part of Indi- 
ana Territory and so remained until July 1, 1805, when the Territory of 
Michigan was created, with Detroit as its seat of government. 

The Territory of Michigan, according to the organic act, consisted of the 
region lying between Lfilce Michigan on the west and the British possessions 
on the east and north and extended as far south as a line drawn eastward 
from the southern point of Lake Michigan to Lake Erie. In 1816 a strip ten 
miles wide was given up to Indiana. Two years later the Territory was re- 
organized and made to embrace all of the present States of Michigan and 
Wisconsin, that part of Minnesota lying east of the Mississippi and a strip 
of land six miles wide now included in Ohio. In 1834 her western boundary 
was extended to the Missouri and White Earth rivers and included all of the 
present States of Minnesota and Iowa and a large part of Dakota. In 1835 she 
knocked at the doors of the Union with a Constitution which was accepted 
by Congress on the 15th of June, 1836, on condition that she acceded to 
the claims of Ohio upon the strip of land above mentioned. A bitter contro- 
versy had raged for thirty years upon this subject and the condition was 
rejected by the first convention but finally accepted by a second, and on the 
26th of January, 1837, Michigan, with her present boundaries, was formally, 
by act of Congress, declared one of the United States. 

In the meantime the second war with Great Britain had been fought and 
the infant Territory had suffered severely. Brig. Gen. William Hull, then 
Governor of the Territory, invaded Canada, but was obliged to fall back to 
Detroit, and upon the arrival of Gen. Brock surrendered to him, August 16, 
1812, the city and Territory as well as his little army. The British captured 
Mackinac and Frenchtown and with their Indian allies overran and devas- 
tated the country generally. They were finally expelled by Gen. Harrison 
and a treaty made with the Indians in 1814. In the same year Hull was court- 
martialed at Albany for his surrender of Detroit and sentenced to be shot, 
but in consideration of his distinguished Revolutionary services, as well as 
his advanced age, the sentence was remitted. While still a Territory, the In- 
dian title to the southern peninsula, and to a great part of the upper penin- 
sula, was extinguished by various treaties and the lands peacefully thrown 
open to white settlers. 

When Michigan was admitted to the Union as the thirteenth State since 
the adoption of the Constitution, with Lucius Lyon and John Norvell for her 
Senators and Isaac E. Crary for her single Representative, she had a white 
population of 174,061, an increase of nearly 100 per cent, in three years. 
Wayne, with 23,400, including Detroit, was then the most populous county. 
Washtenaw county had less than 22,000 inhabitants and Kent but 2,022. Ing- 
ham and Saginaw had each less than 1,000 and Bay was still unorganized. 
Ne xt to^Vay ne and Washtenaw, the counties of Oakland, Lenawee and Monroe 
had the largest population and none others reached 10,000. The immigration 
was chiefly from the State of New York, though many came from New Eng- 
land and from Ohio, and almost all by sailing vessels on Lake Erie. Agri- 
culture was then almost the sole pursuit. Manufactures were in their 
infancy and traders were few. There was no mining and no market for the 
timber felled by the pioneer in his clearing. The reports of the first survey- 
ors sent to the Territory were extremely unfavorable and retarded its 
settlement for many years. The soil was represented as marshy, barren and 
worthless, and the climate as very harsh and unhealthy. The experience of 
the early settlers, however, particularly when the rich low-grounds began 
to b'3 drained and reclaimed, produced, though slowly, a better impression, 
and after the first quarter of the century immigration became more rapid. 
From 1820 to 1830 the population increased 261 per cent, and in the next de- 
cade 571 per cent. 

The construction of railroads, which began in 1836, vastly increased the 
facilities for travel and transportation and gave a great impetus, not only to 
immigration and settlement but also to trade, commerce, agriculture and 
manufactures. By 1840 the tide of settlement had swept entirely across the 
lower peninsula and extended as far north as the Saginaw River. Besides 
Detroit, Grand Haven and Lansing appeared on the map^ and a little colony 
held the outpost at the Straits of Mackinaw. With the increase of popula- 
tion in the interior grew the demand for a more central location of the seat 
of government and, by legislative act of March 16, 1847, the caiiital was re- 
moved from Detroit to Lansing. In 1850 was adopted a new Constitution, 
which, with subsequent amendments, is still in force. For the first time the 
census maps this year showed the towns of Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Aun 
Arbor, Saginaw and Port Huron. The limits of settlement had not materi- 
ally enlarged but within them population had become more dense. 



The next decade marked a still greater increase, not only in population, 
but still more in wealth and the diversification of industry. The population 
had risen to three quarters of a million, an increase of 88.3 per cent, since 
1850. In rank of population she had risen from the twenty-sixth to the six- 
teenth State in the Union. She produced an average of more than nineteen 
bushels of wheat to the acre and was beginning to be known as the great 
winter-wheat State. It was discovered that the climate of the Lake Michi- 
gan slope of the Lower Peninsula was peculiarly favorable to fruit-raising 
and the product of her rapidly increasing orchards and vineyards surprised 
the Eastern horticulturist. The lathe, the loom and the hammer were heard 
in her busy, thriving cities. Her commerce whitened the great inland seas. 
New industries had been developed by the demand for her uuequaled sup- 
plies of timber, and by the discovery and development of the coal, salt and 
plaster deposits of the lower peninsula and the marvelously pure iron and cop- 
per of the upper peninsula, Michigan had ceased to be purely agricultural 
and had become also a great manufacturing, mining and commercial State. 

Politically, Michigan was carried by the Democrats down to 1852, save in 
the famous Log-Cabin campaign of 1840, when she gratefully remembered 
the services of General Harrison in her behalf and gave him her electoral 
vote. Her support of Polk in 1814 was emphasized three years later by her 
contribution of eleven companies of volunteer infantry, a company of regu- 
lar dragoons and three companies of regular infantry to the United States 
army during the Mexican war, in which they distinguished themselves by 
faithful, efficient and gallant services. The progress of anti-slavery senti- 
ment was, however, steady and rapidly crystallized during the Kansas 
struggle of 1854-56. In the latter year she gave 20,001) majority for Fremont 
and has ever since cast her electoral votes for the Republican presidential 
candidates. When the struggle came for the preservation and supremacy of 
the national Union, she was full of enthusiastic, unwavering loyalty. 
Austin Blair was then Governor, Zachariah Chandler and Jacob M. Howard 
her Senators, and Fernando C. Beamen, Bradley F. Granger, Francis W. 
Kellogg and llowland E. Trowbridge her Representatives. She turned her 
wealth into sacrificial gold and her harvest fields, her mines and her forests 
yielded armed men. The State and the counties, cities and townships paid 
out for bounties, premiums, relief of soldiers' families and other war pur- 
poses, $16,548,992. She contributed to the United States armies during the war 
90,747 men, of whom 358 officers and 14,497 enlisted men were killed in battle or 
died of wounds or disease. As a State she was but twenty-four years of age 
and her population was only three-quarters of a million, but through four 
years of war she played an important part both in the cabinet and the field. 

On the return of peace her war-worn veterans returned to find their 
mother-state entering upon a new and remarkable career of prosperity. 
The salt wells of the Saginaw valley were proving profitable and were being 
rapidly developed. The pine forests were yielding to still more vigorous 
assaults. The iron mines of the Ui^per Peninsula were sending to the blast 
furnaces an annually increasing tribute that supplanted foreign imi)orta- 
tions and won the first rank as the king of metals. The discovery of the 
famous Calumet conglomerate in 1865 had given a new and greater impetus 
to copper mining, and the increase in the production of this valuable metal 
was no less wonderful than that of iron. With this marvelous and almost 
simultaneous development of the mineral and forest resources of the State 
came a stimulated yet healthy growth in her commerce, her interior trade 
and her manufactures. And scarcely impeded by the two subsequent periods 
of national financial stringency and distress, her progress in the path of 
material prosperity has been steady and invariable, and her increased 
wealth has been accompanied by all the elements of a free, intelligent, 
happy and christian commonwealth. 

In 1880 Michigan ranked as the eleventh State in area, the ninth in pop- 
ulation, the twelfth in wealth and the sixth in popular education. It stood 
first in the value of iron ore production, copper, lumber and salt, fourth in 
number of sheep and production of wheat and buckwheat, and ninth in value 
of manufactures and production of barley and oats. The annual value of 
her iron, copper, lumber and salt products now reaches the enormous sum of 
seventy-five millions of dollars. 

A full and satisfactory history of the Peninsula State yet remains to be 
written, but the materials for it are of great fullness and value. Judge 
Campbell's 0?/fZi)!es of the Political History of Michigan (Detroit, 1876), and 
Judge Cooley's recent Michigan; a History of Governments, in the Ameri- 
can Commonwealth series of Houghton, Mifflin & Co., are, despite their lim- 
itations, very interesting and valuable. The four volumes of the Geology of 
Michigan form a rich storehouse of facts of the material resources of the 
State and only need the publication of a fifth for their complete presenta- 
tion. Roland D. Irving's monograph on the Copper-bearing Bocks of Lake 
Superior, published by the U, S. Geological Survey, is a valuable contribu- 
tion to scientific knowledge.

Mackinac Island. 




"Grandest and *^" ^^-^^ 
loveliest of all saun- -^ Vfh 
tering-spots, unrivaled ''^ "'' ' 
nueen of all these snatches 
of enchanted summer land u\ mj 
is Mackinac Island, in the Ui f 
Straits of Mackinavy.whose K. 
blue-green waves divide the 
two peninsulas that com 
pose the State. Excepting

is no spot in all the new ^ 
world that more nearlj - 
unites in itself all the glo >% 
ries and beauties and advan 
tages that constitute a peifect 
tourists' paradise." Such i^ the 
deliberate opinion of that experi- , , , 

enced traveler, Colonel D ^nan, from T 
whose nervous, vigorous and altogether 
charming little book we condense a brief 
description. Rising grandly from the mighty 
channel.inwhich the waters of earth's three greatest unsalted oceans 



•Su- 



perior, Huron and Michigan— meet and blend in eternal billowy harmony, 
Mackinac Island is nearly nine miles in circumference and towers at its 
highest point over three hundred feet above the waves that lave its snowy 
feet. The United States government has, with a just appreciation of its 
wonderful attractions, reserved the entire island, with the exception of 
three small farms whose title is guaranteed by treaty, for a National Park. 

A sail around the island in any of the little steamers or yachts that are 
always at command presents a continuous succession of charming views, 
but none is more striking than that on entering the harbor at its southern 
end. The beautiful bay is crescent-shaped and its waters are so clear that 
a white marble or a silver quarter can be distinctly seen at a depth of from 
twenty to fifty feet. Myriads of fish are plainly visible as they cleave their 
way through the liquid crystal. 

Overlooking the bay, the tall white cliffs, with their back-ground of wav- 
ing forest; the fort, with Its massive walls of whitewashed stone, clinging 
picturesquely to the brow of the precipice; the straggling little town at its 
feet, stronglyrecaUing visions of Italian fishing villages; the long rambling 
hotels, with verandas above and below; the neat residences, with their grass- 
plots and shrubbery, fountains and flowers, mingling among buildings that 
have been historic for three generations; and, as a frontispiece to it all, the 
wide, smooth, gently-sloping beach of snowy sand on which the sunlit waters 
ever play, all combine to form a picture that, once seen, is never forgotten. 

" The natural scenery of Mackinac is charming," writes, in Picturesgiiie 
America,Constance Fenimore Woclson, whose admiraVjle story of Anne is a 
local as well as a national classic. " The geologist finds mysteries in the 
calcareous rock dipping at unexpected angles; the antiquarian

feasts his eyes on the Druidical circles of ancient stones; the invalid sits on 
the cJitf's edge, in the vivid sunshine, and breathes in the buoyant air with 
delight, or rides slowly over the old military roads, with the spicery of cedars 
and juniper alternating with the fresh forest odors of young maples and 
beeches. The haunted birches abound and on the crags grow the weird 
larches, beckoning with their long fingers— the most human tree of all. 
Bluebells, on their hair-like stems, swing from the rocks, fading at a touch, 
and in the deep woods are the Indian pipes, but the ordinary wild-flowers 
are not to be found. Over toward the British Landing stand the Gothic spi res 
of the blue-green spruces and now and then an Indian trail crosses the 
road, worn deep by the feet of the red men when the Fairy Island was their 
favorite and sacred resort." 

On the edge of a perpendicular precipice of white limestone, a hundred 
and fifty-five feet high, just back of the town, is the fort which, in pictur- 
esque beauty of location, has no rival among all the fortresses of the United 
States. Its position somewhat resembles that of Fort Snelling, but is much 
more romantic. Magnificent views of the surrounding lakes, channels, 
islands, promontories, forests, towns and shipping are to be had from every 
point on the lofty parapet; and the world affords no grander sight than a 
sunrise or sunset from the fort, the great globe of crimson and gold seeming 
at its rising to burst up from the bosom of Lake Huron and at its setting to 
plunge into the midst of Lake Michigan, casting a million prismatic tints 
of glorious light on wave and sky. It was of one of these gorgeous sunset 
scenes that Longfellow wrote: 

"Can it be the sun descending Staining all the waves with crimson — 

O'er the level plain of water? With the crimson of its life-blood; 

Or the Red Swan floating, flying, Filling all the air with splendor — _ 

Wounded by the magic arrow, With the splendor of its plumage ?" 

Arch Rock is one of the wildest, weirdest, sublimest freaks of nature s 
handiwork in sculpture. The chisel prints of untold ages of whirling waters 
are all over it. The first glimpse of its manifold grandeurs and beauties 
takes away the breath of any party of intelligent tourists and each feels in 
his astonishment and delight the inability to express the emotions that 
overwhelm one in the presence of such a scene. Imagine, if you can, pro- 
jecting from the face of a cliff two hundred feet high, a gigantic bay-win- 
dow of stone, supported by a mighty arch a hundred and forty-nine feet 
high at its summit. The rim or wall of the bay-window is about three feet 
wide and it bulges out some twenty feet from the cliff, overhanging the 
blue-green water of the lake a dizzy depth below. The view from the sum- 
mit of the arch takes in a glorious sweep of fifty miles. The scene by moon- 
light from a boat below the arch is most enchanting. About half a mile 
back of Fort Mackinac, on the highest point of the island, are the ruins of 
old Fort Holmes, built by the British after its capture in lel2 and called by 
them Fort George. The Americans named it Fort Holmes, in honor of the 
gallant officer who fell in the attempt to retake the island in 1814. From 
this historic spot the eye takes in one of the grandest panoramas on earth, 
a sweep of a hundred and fifty miles of magnificent lakes, white-crested 
billows, green islands, beetling crags, gently-sloping shores of dazzling sand, 
light-houses, towns, Indian encampments and far-reaching forests melting 
away in the dim distance into the undistinguishable blue of sky and water. 
Far away to the northward are plainly seen St. Martin's Bay, St. Martin's 
Island, Burns' Island and the famous Chippewa village at the mouth of Pine 
River. To the west lie Point St. Ignatius, the Rabbit's Back Mountain, 
Pointe La Barbe, where the old traders used to shave and brush up a little 
before going to meet their patrons or their girls in Mackinac, and the Gros 
Cap Hills fading away into the dim shore line. Outlined against the sky on 
the southwest are Waugoshance light-house, McGulpin's Point and light- 
house, and nearer at hnnd Mackinaw City on the northern point of the lower 
peninsula. Fifteen miles southward the pretty little city of Cheboygan lies 
in plain view, with its docks, its tasteful houses and its fleet of steam and 
sail vessels. Spectacle Reef light-house looks like a slender finger against 
the eastern horizon, and across a narrow strait Bois Blanc Island looms up 
with its light-houses and forests of white birch, while twelve miles off to the 
northeast can be seen the upper part of the Cheneaux Islands, an enchant- 
ing archipelago of some seventy-five or eighty beautiful islands, varying 
from two miles in length to mere green specks a hundred feet across, dot- 
ting the crystal waters which rush by, fifteen fathoms deep at the shores, and 
swarming with whitefish, bass, pickerel, gamy muskallonge and lake trout. 
Every floating cloud or gleam of sunshine changes the glorious scene by 
varying the tintings of the waters, which range through every shade from 
deepest azure to palest opal green, from purple and lavender to purest silver. 

In such a spot, with the glories of earth and heaven unrolled before the 
gaze, where the atmosphere is as pure as the gales that wandered over pri- 
meval paradise, where the temperature is always cool enough to be bracing 
and invigorating, where a fly or mosquito never was seen, where the induce- 
ments to constant exercise of every sense and sinew are as boundless as the 
beauties of the place, and where the healing fragrance of the pine and hem- 
lock and balsam-fir are borne on every breeze, dyspepsia, languor and low 
spirits take flight at once, hay-fever victims are at rest and catarrhs and 
asthmas mysteriously disappear. The querulous invalid, before he knows 
it, finds himself boating, fishing, strolling, flirting like a prize athlete or a 
Harvard freshman. Well might Horace Mann, writing of the influence of 
"The Wonderful Isle," say: "I never breathed such an air before. I think 
that this must be some that came clear out of Eden and did not get cursed."

NATIVITY AND SEX, 1880. 

The census of 1880 showed that the population consisted of 862,355 males 
and 774,582 females, a percentage respectively of 52.7 and 47.3, but the mascu- 
line predominance was less than in former years. Of the 1,248.429 natives 
of the United States, 642,932 were males and 605,497 were females. Two-thirds 
of these were natives of Michigan; 229,657 were born in New York; 77,053 in 
Ohio; 37,865 in New England; 36,064 in Pennsylvania; 18,216 in Indiana; 10,775 
in Wisconsin; 9,699 in Illinois; 7,903 in New Jersey, and 10,507 in Southern 
States. Next to the native Michiganders the New Yorkers predominated in 
all the counties except Delta, Hout?hton, Keweenaw, Menominee and Onton- 
agon, in which they were outnumbered by natives of Wisconsin; Gladwin, 
in which there were more Ohioans, and Gratiot, in which the New Yorkers 
and Ohioans were equal in numbers. 

The foreign born numbered 219,423 males and 169,085 females, a total of 
388,508, or 23.7 per cent, of the whole population. British America (chiefly 
Canada), contributed 148,866; Great Britain, 98,240 (of whom 43,202 were Eng- 
lish, 43,413 Irish, and 10,731 Scotch); the German Empire, 89,085; Holland, 
17,177; Sweden, 9,412; Poland, 5,421; Norway, 3,520; Denmark, 3,513; France, 
3,203, and Switzerland, 2,474. The letters prefixed to the foreign population, 
1880, in the table on the preceding page, indicate the nativity of the greater 
number as follows : B, British America; E, England; I, Ireland; G.Germany, 
H, Holland. 

HOW THEY W^ERE EMPLOYED. 

Of the population of Michigan in 1880, 1,236,686 were of the age of ten years 
and over. Of these, 569,204 were returned as employed in gainful occupa- 
tions, as follows : agriculture, 240.319 ; professional and personal services, 
143,249 ; trade and transportation, 54,723, and manufacturing, mechanical and 
mining industries, 130,913. 

Making a more detailed classification we find that but 70,815 of the agri- 
culturists were laborers. There were in the State 2,148 clergymen, 2,097 
lawyers, 3,404 physicians, surgeons and dentists, 10,150 teachers, including 
musicians, 3,Cfe9 ofiicials and employes of government, 6,193 employed in 
hotels, boarding-houses and restaurants, 28,862 domestic servants, and 79,053 
laborers other than agricultural. Under the head of trade and transporta- 
tion, there were 14,174 traders and dealers, employing 12,580 clerks, salesmen 
and accountants, 3,154 commercial travelers, hucksters and peddlers, 1,467 
employed in banking, brokerage and insurance, 10,445 officials and employes 
of railroad, express and telegraph companies, 5,015 draymen, hackmen, 
teamsters, etc., 3,184 sailors, steamboatmen and watermen, and 2,197 saloon- 
keepers and bartenders. There were also 1.904 manufacturers and officials 
of manufacturing companies, 2,868 iron and steel makers, 6,978 miners, 1,053 
cotton and woolen mill operatives, 3,783 engineers and firemen, 2,870 ma- 
chinists, 1,924 millers, 8,907 lumbermen, raftsmen and wood-choppers, 13,826 
saw-mill operatives, 16,.541 carpenters and joiners, 2,753 coopers, 2,920 cabinet 
makers and upholsterers, 4,8i>6 painters and varnishers, 6,328 blacksmiths, 
3,784 boot and shoe-makers, 4,412 brick and stone masons and stone cutters, 
2.390 butchers, 1,398 fishermen, 1,907 cigar makers and tobacco workers, 1,919 
printers, 1,547 harness, saddle and trunk makers, and 12,432 tailors, dress- 
makers and milliners. 

Included in these were 55,013 females, nearly one-half of whom, 26,746, were 
domestic servants. Of the remainder, 10,462 plied the needle as dress- 
makers and milliners, 7,971 were teachers, 2,591 carried on or were employed 
in hotels, boarding-houses and restaurants, 1,165 were laundresses, and 973 
were engaged in agriculture, only 204 of whom, however, were laborers. 
Among the rest we find six clergymen, seven lawyers, nine journalists, ninety- 
one physicians and surgeons and six dentists. Eleven were engaged in 
banking, brokerage and insurance, 909 were employed in stores, 246 were in 
government offices, 232 were traders and dealers, and there was a miller, an 
iron and steel maker, a brick maker, a brewer and a livery stable keeper 
among the feminine bread-winners. 



MINERAL PRODUCTIONS OF MICHIGAN. 

IRON. 

In 1844 the variation of the compass needles near the present city of 
Negaunee drew the attention of the United States surveyors to the outcrop- 
pings of magnetic iron. In 1846 the tirst ore. three hundred pounds, was 
taken from the Jackson mine, and smelted in an old forge the following win- 
ter. It was 1855 before the shipment ojC ore fairly began, since when the out- 
put has aggregated 25,000,000 of tons. The deposits are confined to the azoic 
formation of the Northern Peninsula and are located in the counties of 
Marquette, Menominee, Ontonagon, Delta, Baraga and Houghton. "It is 
doubtful," says Prof. T. B. Brooks, in the Geoluuical Survey of Blichigan 
(i. 216), "if, in the same extent and thickness of rocks anywhere in the world, 
there is a larger percentage of iron oxide than in the Marquette series. In 
the order of relative abundance, so far as made <^ut, the ores are the flag, the 
red specular hematites, soft or brown hematites and magnetites. These all 
exist in workable beds and all as disseminated minerals in rocks usually 
silicious." The average percentage of metallic iron in these four varieties 
of ore varies from 49.332 in the flag to 62.915 in the specular and 62,930 in the 
magnetite, while that of phosphorus ranges from .053 in the flag and .078 in 
the soft hematites to .111 in the specular. Excepting the soft hematites, 
which contain about five per cent, of water, the elements other than oxide of 
iron and silicia amount lo but five per cent. The quality and value of the 
Lake Superior iron ore, as the Michigan ore is usually termed, is very high. 
The census of 18bO reported the product of Pennsylvania during the previous 
year as 2,185,675 tons, valued at $5,517,079. But the Michigan product, though 
350,000 tons less, was worth over half a million of dollars more. Pennsylvania 
employed a little more capital than Michigan, but paid the miners an aver- 
age of only $28.57 per month, while Michigan paid $43.11. Michigan now un- 
doubtedly leads in quantity as well as quality and value of iron production. 
New York and New Jersey are third and fourth in the list, followed by Ohio 
and Missouri. The iron monograph of the tenth census reports Michigan as 
the eighth iron manufacturing State, having twenty charcoal blast furnaces 
and two rolling mills employing $4,175,386 capital and 3.089 hands, paying 
$922,597 in wages and making 142,716 tons of product valued at $4,591,613. She 
used, however, but 201,179 tons of her own ore, sending over 1,200.0(30 tone to 
the other States to make one- third of all the pig iron of the Republic. 

The following table shows the annual production of ore and pig in gross 
tons, together with the approximate value in the lower lake markets :

In the same year that the Jackson iron mine made its first output, the 
fissure vein of the Cliff copper mine, near Eagle river, was opened and proved 
remunerative. This was the first pecuniarily profitable result of Dr. Douglass 
Houghton's report to the legislature in February, 1841. But the existence of 
copper was previously known to Schoolcraft, and the great mass of copper 
on the bank of Ontonagon river, twenty miles above its mouth, had been 
seen and described by Baron L'Hontan in 1688 and by later travelers; and 
subsequent discoveries have proved that copper mines of considerable 
depth were opened and worked on Keweenaw Point and Isle Royale by the 
more intelligent and cultivated predecessors of the Indians. Since 1846 
Michigan has produced nearly 400,000 tons of refined copper worth over 
$180,000,000. According to the tenth census Michigan produced more than 
ninety per cent, of the product, of the United States east of the lOOth merid- 
ian, almost all of which came from the Portage Lake District of Hough- 
ton county. The other copper counties are Keweenaw, Ontonagon and Is!e 
Koyale. No copper ore is found in the State. The metal exists as pure 
native copper in fissure veins and in amygdaloid and conglomerate beds. 
Silver is often found with it, but also as a pure metal and as an admixture, 
but not as an alloy. The Calumet conglomerate was discovered in 1365 and 
the Calumet & Hecla made its first shipment two years later. This single 
company produced 16,562,522 net tons of refined copper in 1883, making a total 
output in seventeen years of 174,828,321 net tons, worth over $72,000,000.

Michigan is now the largest salt-producing region in the United States, 
largely leading in production the Onondaga region of New York, which is 
its only competitor to any extent. The first practical attempt at salt- well 
boring in the State was made at Grand Rapids in 1859 and the depth attained 
was 275 feet. An analysis of the brine seems to have shown but a small per- 
centage of salt. The first well at East Saginaw was bored in 1860 and an 
analysis of the brine gave nineteen per cent, of salt. In 1884 there were 
276 salt wells in the State— 240 in Saginaw ana Bay counties and the 
remaining thirty-six in Huron, Iosco, Manistee, Midland, Gratiot, St. 
Clair and Jackson counties. The average depth of the wells in the Saginaw 
Valley is 1,000 feet and in Manistee 1,900 feet. The average salinometer 
strength of the brine is ninety degrees at fifty-six degrees Fahrenheit. 

The total salt production of the State from 1860 to 1868 was as follows: 

1860, 4,000 bbls.; 1861, 125,000 bbls. ; 1862, 243,000 bbls.; 1863, 466,356 bbls.; 1864, 
529,073 bbls.; 1865, 477,200 bbls.; 1866, 407,077 bbls.; 1867, 474,721 bbls.: 1868, 
555,690 bbls. 

In March, 1869, the first State Salt Inspector (Dr. Samuel S. Garrigues) 
was appointed and the inspection of all salt required by law. Since that 
date from the production of the various grades has been as follows:

From the tenth census of the United States we find that there were in the 
United States 264 establishments with 539 wells, employing 5,065 hands and 
producing 29,800,298 bushels of salt valued at $4,817,636. Michigan stood 
first in rank, with eighty-six establishments and 203 wells, employing $2,147,- 
209 of capital and 1,886 hands, paying $510,902 in wages and producing 
12,425,885 bushels of salt valued at $2,271,913, nearly one-half the value of the 
total production of the country. New York had sixty-nine establishments 
and forty-two wells, employed $2,286,081 capital and 1,040 hands, paid $274,087 
in wages and produced 8,748,203 bushels of salt worth $1,106,710. West Vir- 
ginia came next with ten establishments and fifty-seven wells, $909,500 cap- 
ital and 810 hands, paying wages to the amount of $160,227 and producing 
2,679,438 bushels salt worth $380,369. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Cali- 
fornia were the only other States producing more than $100,000 worth of this 
invaluable antiseptic. The average depth of the wells in Michigan was 
reported as 881 feet; New York, 324 feet; West Virginia, 1,043 feet; Ohio, 902 
feet; Pennsylvania, 884 feet, and Virginia's two wells, 262 feet. California 
mined and ground rock salt. The average strength oiP the Michigan brine 
W!is [)V.i degrees; that of Virginia, 86 degrees; Utah, 823^ degrees ; New York, 
69>^ degrees; Ohio, 36.8 degrees, and West Virginia only 35?i degrees.

1 1 Majority. 



Note.— The Fusion ticket of 1884 was made up by the nomination of 
twelve electors by the Democratic and Greenback conventions. If elected, 
their votes were to be cast for Cleveland and for Butler in proportion to tho 
party vote cast for the thirteenth elector, nominated without expectation of 
election but as a test of party strength and basis of division. The Dem- 
ocratic ticket was headed by J. W. Flanders, who received 149,835 votes. Tho 
Greenback ticket was headed by M. W. Field, who received 41,490 votes. Had 
the other twelve (Fusion) electors been chosen, therefore, on this basis, the 
vote of Michigan in the Electoral College would have been Cleveland, 9: 
Butler, 3, and Blame, 1.

MICHIGAN LAND 

FO R SALE 
On the Line of the Michigan Central R. R. 




^3^ 



The Michigan Central Railroad, when it acquired the Jackson, Lansing & 
Saginaw Railroad, acquired also the Government Land Grant, comprising 
in the neighborhood of 600^000 acres in Saginaw, 
Bay, Arenac, Ogemaw, Roscommon, Missau- 
^ kee, Kalkaska, Crawford, Oscoda, Mont- 
fi^ '" morency, Otsego, Antrim, Cheboygan 

and Charlevoix coun- 
ties. This portion 
of the great State 
of Michigan con- 
tains a fair popu- 
lation and is very 
rapidly filling up 
with thebest class 
of settlers from 
all parts of the Uni- 
ted States and Can- 
ada. The comple- 
tion of the Michigan 
.. _^,-., -,- «ju--. C'entral Railroad to Mackinaw 
^^, - ""^ .i'^i^dbT^ City, passing through about the 
^^ »- "-——J .*«-,• ''j^-f^ center of these lands, has given 
an impetus to immigration that 
promises to rapidly settle all the lands still unsold. 

The country is what is generally known as "heavy-timbered" land. 
There is pine enough interspersed among the hard wood to supply settlers 
with building material for many years to come. Sugar maple and beech 
are the predominant woods, while other kinds, such as elm, basswood and 
hemlock, are to be found. The trees attain a gigantic size, proving the 
great productiveness of the soil. 

The soil is generally of a dark sandy loam and in many places has a clay 
subsoil. Vegetables of every kind grow abundantly and in great perfec- 
tion. The crops are never a failure. Wheat, corn, buckwheat, peas, rye 
and potatoes are the principal crops, all of which yield abundantly. Four 
hundred and fifty bushels of potatoes have been raised from one acre and 
fifty bushels of wheat to an acre have been grown. The average yield of 
wheat is about twenty bushels and of potatoes about one hundred and ten 
bushels per acre. 

The winters are not colder than in Southern Michigan, Northern Ohio 
and Indiana. Snow generally falls to a depth of from eighteen inches to 
two feet and the surface of the ground seldom freezes. Potatoes and many 
other root crops are frequently left in the ground all winter and dug out in 
the following spring and found in excellent condition. 

During the summer the nights are cool, while the days are never ex- 
cessively hot. General good health prevails at all seasons and malarial 
diseases are rare. Fever and ague and kindred diseases are almost un- 
known and people who have suffered from them for many years speedily 
and permanently recover after coming here. Many families came here to 
escape the chills and fever that had so persistently followed them in the 
West and all have been permanently benefited by the change. 

Tickets will be sold to intending settlers to any point north of Oakley, 
Michigan, by all agents of the Michigan Central Railroad, at two cents per j 
mile, and for settlers on or near the line of the road the Michigan Central 
Railroad will carry household goods and other freight at half regular j 
freight rates. 

Parties who may wish to look at the lands can also obtain any desired 
information from any of the agents of the Company. 

The fullest information in regard to climate, crops, taxes, prices of , 
lands, and any other subject of interest to persons intending to immigrate, j 
will be furnished upon application, in person or by letter, to

the trade and 
travel through 
which pulsates 
the commercial 
life of the State. 
Chartered in iaS2, 
when the population 
numbered but forty 
thousand and Detroit 
was little more than 
a village, it has ex- 
erted an influence in 
the upbuilding of the 
State and the develop- 
ment of its rich re- 
sources not to be com- 
puted. Sharing in 
the early struggles 
and in the financial 
reverses of the people, 
it has made possible 
the wealth and pros- 
perity that now exists. It has grown with 
the population and fortunes of the State, 
that has always taken a just pride in it, un- 
til now it is not only " The Great East and 
West Highway," wearing its well-earned 
title of " The Niagara Falls Route," but it 
is more than ever the Michigan Central, 
with its lines of steel rails running from , 
Detroit, the metropolis and its focal point, * *^'/\/, 
eastward to Buffalo, south to Toledo, west 
to Chicago and Grand Rapids and north 
to the Saginaws, Bay City and Mackinaw, 
while its branches and connections permeate both peninsulas, a network 
of life-sustaining veins. Leaving out two towns with which it has close 
connections, it runs its cars to the eleven largest cities of the State, having an 
asrgregate population of more than 327,000. It traverses the richest agricultural 
and timber lands of the State, the great factories of the State are on its lines 
and it is the great outlet of its fruit, salt and coal regions, as well as of the Upper 
Peninsula with its marvelous stores of mineral wealth. The map shows its im- 
portance more strongly than any description, but the Mackinaw Division is 
worthy of special mention as being the direct line to the Northern Peninsula; to 
Mackinac, the tourist's paradise, the gem of the Great Lakes, reserved by 
Congress as a National park; to Topinabee, the great resort of hay-fever suffer- 
ers; to the lake ports of Cheboygan and Mackinaw City, from which steamers 
run to Manistique, Sault Ste. Marie and other points of interest; through the 
great pine forests that fill the air with healing balsamic odors; to Grayling, 
Roscommon and a score of other places on brawling streams whose cold clear 
waters are filled with speckled brook trout and grayling, the princes of pisca- 
torial prizes. Nature has filled this northern portion of the Lower Peninsula 
with beauty, stocked it with fish and game and sends over it gentle zephyrs of 
purest ozone, giving health and vigor to the sick and weary. An admirable 
system of through cars and close connections has placed this remarkable 
region within easy reach of Boston, New Xork, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Louis- 
ville, Chicago and St. Louis. Illustrated descriptive folders can be obtained 
from any of the company's oflBcers or agents.

TO THE PUBLIC. 

On the issue of this, the revised and enlarged edition of Facts and 
Figures about Michigan, the compiler desires to express his appreciation 
of the warm reception accorded to the first edition by the newspaper press 
and the general public, and of the cordial co-operation of friends through- 
out the State in the work of revision, without which success would have 
been impossible. United States, State, county and city officers, officials and 
agents of railroads and other corporations, editors, lawyers, ministers and 
merchants, have, with but few exceptions, responded with gratifying 
promptness to our requests for information. To each and all of them we 
extend our sincere thanks for their prompt courtesy. Our only regret is that 
the failure or neglect of a few has delayed the issue of this volume and 
rendered it impossible to complete and tabulate much valuable information 
that we had hoped to present. If, however, our little book continues to find 
favor in the eyes of the people, we shall hope, with the continued assistance 
and co-operation of all persons interested, to make each successive issue still 

fuller, better and more attractive.

A FEW MICHIGAN RESORTS. 



DIAMOND LAKE, 

ON THE AIR LINE OF THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL, 

is a beautiful sheet of water, about nine miles in circumference, surrounded 
by a natural forest of oak, maple and beech. It is a delightful resort for 
those seeking relief from business cares and who desire the recreation of 
rural life and sylvan scenes. In the lake is an island of seventy-five acres. 
The fishing is very fine, bass, pickerel and many other specif s being in 
abundance. Wall-eyed pike and black bass may be caught in May and June. 
On the north shore of the Jake is a summer hotel (Forest Hald, where 
the Michigan Central trains stop. This hotel is fitted up with all modern 
improvements and is well conducted. Post office address, Cassopolis, Mich. 



ST. CLAIR MINERAL SPRINGS, 

ON THE LINE OF THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL. 

St. Clair itself is a prosperous, elegant little town of about two thousand 
inhabitants, on the west bank of St. Clair River and about half way between 
Lakes Huron and St. Clair. The Oakland is a fine large hotel and sanitarium 
situated on the river bank, just south of St. Clair, and within three minutes' 
walk of the Michigan Central Depot. It is a favorite place for those who 
wish a summer's perfect resort, as well as those who seek relief from disease. 
The St. Clair Mineral Spring VTateu is of the same general class as the 
Saratoga and German saline spas, but more powerful than most of them. 
Taken internally, or in the form of hot orcold baths, it is found to be very 
efficacious in all forms of diseases of the skin, blood liver and genitals. 
The baths are no less delightful than curative and result in a physical vigor 
that gives a new zest to life. 

SOUTH HAVEN, 

TERMINUS OF SOUTH HAVEN DIVISION MICHIGAN CENTRAL, 
is a charming town of fifteen hundred population, located where Black River 
empties into Lake Michigan. The surrounding country is fruitful and pict- 
uresque, fish and game abound, the facilities for bathing and caraping-out 
are excellent, -and the lake freezes render the summer climate delightful 
and healthy. A local resort for many years, its reputation has quietly spread 
to distant regions without the aid of special advertising. 



TOPINABEE, 

THE NORTHERN HAY FEVER RESORT, 

is situated on the narrow peninsula between Mullet and Burt Lakes, thirty 
miles south of Mackinac Island, and on the Mackinaw Division of the 
Michigan Central. It is one of the best points in Northern Michigan for 
hook and line fishing, bass, pickerel, pike and whitefish being abundant in 
the lakes, with fine trout and grayling streams near at hand. Game is very 
plentiful. 

On account of its high, dry and healthful situation, Topinabee has been 
chosen as the permanent location of the Lake View Summer Resort of the 
Northern Hay Fever Resort Association, whose Secretary and Manager, 
Robert E. Williams, Jackson, Mich., may be applied to by those desirous of 
additional information. The grounds form a natural park, rising in ter- 
races from the lake, covered with timber and carpeted with winter-greens, 
arbutus and sweet ferns, and the climate and outdoor life will infuse new 
life into the most wearied denizen of the city. 



YPSILANTI, 

ON THE MAIN LINE OF THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL, 

has rapidly become one of the most important resorts for health seekers in 
the country. Its mineral wat>-r has proved a most potent natural medicine 
for very many organic and chronic diseases, and is sold in all the principal 
towns and cities. Its chemical analysis by Prof. Prescott, of the University 
of Michigan, shows that it possesses greater strength and power than the 
Saratoga, Kochbrunnen or other well known saline mineral waters, and 
compares well with the noted sulphur waters of Harrowgate, England. With 
its alkaline reaction and its sulphates of sodium, potassium and magnesium, 
its bromide, sulphur and iron, it is a powerful tonic and an eliminator of 
mjasmaticand blood-poisons from the system. It is used both externally 
and internally with great effect and tends to equalize the circulation, regu- 
late cardiac action, excite secretion and tone the muscular and nervous 
svstem. A fine bathhouse, hotel and sanitarium, has been erected, and 
health and pleasure seekers will find Ypsilanti a delightful resting place. 

MACKINAC ISLAND, see page 59. 





The Michigan Central is the only real "Niagara Falls Koute" in the 
country— none genuine without "M. C." blown in the bottle. It is the only 
railroad that gives a satisfactory view of the Falls. Every day train stops 
from five to ten minutes at Falls View, which is v/liat the name indicates— a 
splendid point from, which to view the great cataract. It is right on the 
brink of the grand canyon, at the Canadian end of the Horseshoe, and every 
part of the Falls is in plain sight. Even if he is tao ill or too lazy to get out 
of his car, he can see the liquid wonder of the world from the window or the 
platform. This is the Michigan Central's strongest hold on popular favor, 
its greatest advantage, its chief attraction. So long as the waters of that 
mighty river thunder down to the awful depths below, so long as the rush 
and roar, the surge and foam and prismatic spray of nature's cataractic mas- 
terpiece remain to delight and awe the human soul, thousands and tens of 
thousands ot beauty-lovers and grandeur-worshipers will journey over the 
only railroad from which it can be seen. There is but one Niagara Falls on 
earth and but one direct great railway to it. 

After leaving Falls View, the train sweeps along the edge of the mighty 
chasm, some two or three miles, to Suspension Bridge, giving constant and 
ever-changing views of the cataract and the surging, boiling river, as it 
madly rushes and rages between the perpendicular walls of stone, three hun- 
dred feet high, that torva the great canyon of Niagara. The stream is 
crosi^ed on the new Cantilever Bridge, which, stretching over the roaring 
flood, from precipice to precipice, seemingly resting on air alone, is a marvel 
of engineering skill and daring. It is a dizzy height above the seething 
waters, and seems a pathway only for winged creatures, but the train rushes 
over it as though it were a highway cut in solid stone. From the bridge 
there is a magnificent view of the Falls, the Eapids and the Suspension Foot- 
Bridge, above the Cantilever; while below it the eye takes in the Lower 
Ilapids and the awful Whirlpool, where Captain Webb's body was found. 

On the New York side of the river the road follows the very brink of the 
canyon for a mile or more, affording continual glorious glimpses_ of tl.o 
Cataract, the Rapids and all the other noted spots; and, after leaving the 
town of Niagara, it winds along the margin of the river, furnishing views of 
the islands and the Upper Eapids, until the mighty stream widens out into 
Lake Erie, just as the conductor announces Buffalo. It is a twenty-mile-long 
flying panorama of God's and Nature's sublime.st handiwork— a feast to the 
eye, ear, heart, soul and imagination that is worth the cost in time and 
money of a trip across the continent or around the world.— Co?. P. Donnn in 
St. Louis Spectator.
